Notes for Elizabeth Linn:
E. B. Boyle, p. 850 E. B. BOYLE. Prominently identified with the enterprising and successful citizens of North Strabane township is the gentleman above named. He is a son of William Boyle, who was born in 1794, in Allegheny county, Penn, and there learned the carpenter's trade. In 1823 he came to Washington county, and purchased the farm in North Strabane township now occupied by his son. When a young man William Boyle was united in marriage with Elizabeth Weller, a native of Washington county, Penn., born in 1800, and eight sons were born to their union, namely: Daniel (deceased), Hugh (residing in Washington, Penn.), J. W. (living in Oklahoma), William (a citizen of Iowa), E. B. (whose name introduces this biography), Andrew Jackson (residence unknown), Benjamin Franklin (of Lawrence county, Penn.), and James G. (living in Pittsburgh). The mother of this family died in 1861, followed by the father in 1865, and they were buried in the private cemetery on the old Weller homestead. Both were earnest members of the Presbyterian Church. E. B. Boyle was born October 22, 1826, on the old farm in North Strabane township, Washington Co., Penn., and received all the literary training which could be imparted by the pedagogue of the country school. On October 28, 1852, he was united in marriage with Elizabeth, daughter of Col. Moses and Nancy Linn. To the union of E. B. and Elizabeth Boyle the following children have been born: Agnes J., Lizzie W., Clara B. (Mrs. R. J. Wallace, has one son, E. B. F.), Nettie G. (wife of Charles Wilkinson, Lawrence county, Penn., has two sons, Lawrence B. and Earnest), Anna (Mrs. E. G. Walker, has one son, Fred), William F., Blanche L., John Grant, H. A. and Mamie. Of this family the three eldest daughters have taught school, and all are regular attendants and ardent supporters of the Presbyterian Church. In political opinion Mr. Boyle votes according to the ability of the candidate, regardless of party preferences. During his father's lifetime, our subject purchased one-half of the home farm, which contains 175 acres, and after the death of his father he purchased the remainder from his brothers, B. F. and A. J. Boyle. His principal attention is devoted to the general care of his farm and the breeding of Jersey cattle. The home place, on which he resides, is improved to the highest point of cultivation.
